A mate of mine has an MK Indy with the GRP seats in, both his dad and him who drive the car are 6ft 5 plus and have to push the seat right back as far as it will go to fit in.

The problem is whilst driving the car the top of the seat ( head rest part ) taps on the roll bar and is driving them mad, as well as taking the powder coat off.

Any ideas for a cure?, thought about some sort of pipe lagging foam but it to thick.

thanks

Foam tape?

Look at this on eBay 3m Black Single Sided Foam Tape Closed Cell 20mm Wide x 3mm Thick

Put a couple of washer under rear fixing bolts to lift back of seat up, would imagine 2mm washer should do the trick

Like the spacer under the seat fixing idea, thanks for that I will pass it on

or indeed tip it back a little, so it rests firmly on the roll bar

i have spacers under the back of my seat rails in a haynes roadster works a treat. i did it to make the seat back angle and chassis angles match, that gave me another chunk of legroom with the seat able to go further back

Surely you can put it one click forward??

Remove the seat runners and bolt seat straight to floor

I'd fit some self adhesive foam padding to the roll bar to protect it and remove the tapping noise. Halfords do some cheap for number plate fixing foam pads 2-3mm thick in black that should do the job.

I had the same problem - I used this stuff on the edge of the seat where it made contact:
